Phyna blasts Dangote Group over statement on accident involving sister

Big Brother Naija Level Up winner Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has responded to a press statement issued by Dangote Group regarding her sister’s recent accident involving one of the company’s trucks.

A day earlier, Phyna had publicly called out billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote and his company, alleging that the truck, which crashed into her sister, was tampered with by police on the company’s orders to remove its plate number. She warned that while Dangote might have wealth, “he isn’t God,” vowing to pursue justice.

Phyna, however, criticised the tone of the message, calling it ironic given the severity of the injuries sustained. She highlighted that her sister’s leg had already been amputated and questioned the urgency of the company’s actions.

“Appropriate compensation? Quick recovery from an already amputated leg? What necessary speed are you taking right now? Let’s not forget the bike man, who is also in critical condition,” she wrote.

Her response has drawn fresh attention to the case, with many awaiting further updates on both her sister’s and the bike rider’s conditions.

BREAKING: NNPCL Reduces Fuel Price

On Thursday, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited reduced the pump price of premium motor spirit.

Daily Post reports that NNPCL retail outlets in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have reduced their pump price to N890 per litre from N945.

This new fuel price has been reflected in NNPCL retail outlets such as mega station Danziyal Plaza, Central Area, Wuse Zone 4, Wuse Zone 6, and other of its filling stations in the nation’s capital.

The latest downward review of fuel price in NNPCL outlets represents an N55 reduction in fuel pump price.

“It was reduced to N890 per litre this afternoon, down from N945,” an NNPCL fuel attendant told DAILY POST anonymously on Thursday.

This comes after it was reported that a Nigerian filling station, MRS Empire Energy, on Thursday adjusted their fuel pump price to N885 and N946 per litre, down from N910 and N955 per litre.

The latest fuel price reduction trend is unconnected to Dangote Refinery’s ex-depot petrol price adjustment by N30 to N820 per litre from N850 and the price of crude oil in the international market.

Bitcoin Smashes Past $124K For The First Time

Bitcoin has climbed past $124,000 on Thursday, August 14.
This is the first time Bitcoin is crossing the $124k mark.
Analysts say the latest peak was fueled by growing demand from U.S. retirement accounts, institutional investors, and treasury firms. The move coincided with a rally in American stocks, reflecting heightened global risk appetite.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value rose 0.9% from its July peak, while Ethereum hit $4,700 — its highest level since late 2021. Bitcoin is now trading near $121,500, having broken decisively above the $120K mark after a strong rally from $116K.
Analysts say the breakout signals strong momentum, supported by President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto policies, increased certainty of Federal Reserve rate cuts in September, and sustained exchange-traded fund inflows. Bitcoin’s market capitalization now stands at around $2.5 trillion, while Ethereum’s has climbed to nearly $575 billion. Together, the two account for roughly 70% of the global crypto market.
A recent executive order from Trump allows 401(k) retirement accounts to invest directly in cryptocurrencies — a potential multi-trillion-dollar pool of capital. Even a modest allocation could deliver a significant boost to Bitcoin prices.
Institutional and treasury buying has added further fuel to the rally, with steady payroll contributions in retirement accounts creating consistent purchasing pressure. Large custodians and asset managers are now expected to source more Bitcoin directly, bolstering its legitimacy as a mainstream investment.
Trump, who calls himself the “crypto president,” has overseen sweeping regulatory changes, including stablecoin legislation and securities reforms to accommodate digital assets. His administration’s stance, combined with a favorable macroeconomic outlook, has driven Bitcoin up nearly 32% in 2025.
Analysts suggest that if Bitcoin sustains its momentum above $125,000, it could be on track to hit $150,000, cementing its position as a cornerstone of institutional and retail investment portfolios.
